At Scrivens Opticians & Hearing Care we have always been committed to treating our people equally and ensuring that everyone, irrespective of ethnicity, background or gender, can progress and develop in direct proportion to their individual talent, ability, diligence and commitment.

The gender pay gap simply shows the difference in the average hourly earnings of men and women regardless of their roles in a business. Our gap is not caused by men and women being paid differently to do the same job but rather by the inherent nature of the structure of a workforce working within the retail sector whereby many more women than men are employed in customer-facing roles within our stores.

Our workforce is split 78% women to 22% men, a statistic we are proud of and one that enables a great many women the opportunity to develop challenging and rewarding careers with us.

I can confirm the data contained within this report is accurate.
